Hi,

i would like to enable the community-testing 4.3 template repos in QubesOS 4.2.4 in hopes to have a working kali-core template.

I downloaded the signing key, transferred it to dom0 and placed it in /etc/qubes/repo-templates/keys/RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-4.3-templates-community.

Then i modified /etc/qubes/repo-templates/qubes-templates.repo:

#[qubes-templates-community-testing]
#name = Qubes Community Templates repository
#baseurl = https://yum.qubes-os.org/r$releasever/templates-community-testing
#baseurl = http://yum.qubesosfasa4zl44o4tws22di6kepyzfeqv3tg4e3ztknltfxqrymdad.onion/r$releasever/templates-community-testing
#metalink = https://yum.qubes-os.org/r$releasever/templates-community-testing/repodata/repomd.xml.metalink
#enabled = 1
#fastestmirror = 1
#gpgcheck = 1
#gpgkey = file:///etc/qubes/repo-templates/keys/RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-$releasever-templates-community

[qubes-templates-community-testing]
name = Qubes Community Templates repository
#baseurl = https://yum.qubes-os.org/r$releasever/templates-community-testing
#baseurl = http://yum.qubesosfasa4zl44o4tws22di6kepyzfeqv3tg4e3ztknltfxqrymdad.onion/r$releasever/templates-community-testing
metalink = https://yum.qubes-os.org/4.3/templates-community-testing/repodata/repomd.xml.metalink
enabled = 1
fastestmirror = 1
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey = file:///etc/qubes/repo-templates/keys/RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-4.3-templates-community

Now in the template manager all community-testing templates are missing.

Where did i go wrong, or what did i miss?

I did a little error when adapting the repo URL. It should be metalink = https://yum.qubes-os.org/r4.3/templates-community-testing/repodata/repomd.xml.metalink (missing “r”).

However there is no kali-* template :sob:
